The Seahawks could have signed several edge rushers instead of Aldon Smith but didn’t. Now he’s gone but some are still available. Smith was released earlier this week as the Seahawks couldn’t trust him. That’s not my opinion, that’s the clause in his contract.
Maybe Smith had another off-field incident other than the issue he had in New Orleans earlier this offseason.
